Post operative pain is a constant and deleterious factor, resulting from surgical traumatism of the operated tissues; this aggression leads to a local inflammatory and painful reaction mediated by prostaglandins. Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit their synthesis. In this study, ketoprofene appears to be an interesting treatment of post operative pain especially in orthopedic and traumatologic surgery.
